What makes Ben
& Jerry’s “Ben &
Jerry’s?” It’s extraordinary all-natural
super-premium ice cream, frozen yogurt and sorbets.
It’s iconic flavors like Cherry Garcia, Chocolate Chip Cookie
Dough, and Phish Food, with colossal chunks and sensational
swirls. It’s enticing sundaes, exquisite shakes and
mouth-watering smoothies made with real fruit. And it’s
operating a company in a way that recognizes the responsibility of
business to give back to the community.
